OAEC Plant Sales

We offer three plant sales annually, the Spring, Summer and Fall sales.

VIDEO: OAEC's PLANT SALE - a Rare Community Experience


We boast an especially comprehensive selection of California Certified Organic seedlings — all grown in our nursery, many from seed collected from our gardens. We have hundreds of our favorite open-pollinated vegetable, flower and herb heirlooms — the tastiest, most beautiful, most interesting and rare, and most regionally appropriate varieties. We will feature many of our “signature” plants — food crops and ornamentals that have been grown here for years and have become identified with our Mother Garden.

Our Plant Sales wouldn't be possible without the support of our wonderful volunteer staff. If you're interested in volunteering at any of our Plant Sales, please contact Kate Taylor at plantsale@oaec.org

    At our Spring Plant Sale we'll be selling hundreds of open-pollinated, heirloom and rare varieties – all California Certified Organic – many started from our own seed collection. All have been trialed, tasted, and savored for years in our demonstration gardens and kitchen. This sale features early Spring crops such as lettuces and greens, peas, brassicas, chards, onions, leeks, flowers, and herbs.

  • Fall Biodiversity Plant Sale (August 18th & 19th)

    Saturday Aug. 18th - Sunday Aug. 19th

    9AM - 5 P

    One of the great joys of living in Northern California is that we can garden all year round, creating fall and winter gardens that rival the beauty, diversity and productivity of summer gardens. This is the time to put fall and winter seedlings into the ground while the soil is still warm! Choose from hundreds of varieties of heirloom brassicas, lettuces, salad greens, chards, leeks, and herbs as well as old-fashioned annual flowers. We'll have lots of ornamental and edible perennials too.


    This is a free event with Garden Tours at 11 AM and 1 PM.
